83.8% Google Pixel 4a 5G Smartphone Review: The Pixel 5 on the cheap | Notebookcheck
The Google Pixel 4a 5G makes life harder for the Pixel 5. It features the same SoC and the same camera system. However, it has a bigger 6.2-inch screen and is much cheaper.

In fact, after conducting this Google Pixel 4a 5G review, I can't help but feel that it's not the likes of the LG Velvet or Galaxy A71 5G or any one of a number of mid-range handsets that this phone is competing against. Rather, the Pixel 4a 5G's biggest competitor appears to be the Pixel 5. On that front, the Pixel 4a 5G holds up very well. It doesn't have the 90Hz refresh rate that the Pixel 5 offers nor the IP68 water resistance. But at $200 less, you're getting an excellent camera, 5G connectivity and no real trade-off in terms of overall performance. Google now offers two 5G-ready devices between the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G. And it's clear to me that the Pixel 4a 5G is the better buy.

But the price bump is worth it, especially if 5G is available in your area or you're preparing for its arrival. The Pixel 4A 5G's solid battery life, fantastic dual rear cameras, reliable performance and robust software support from Google also make it a worthy choice among other 5G phones, like the Motorola One 5G, which will receive only one major OS update. Because of these features and its competitive price, it's one of our favorite phones of the year, and it has earned CNET's Editor's Choice.

Back in August, Google unveiled the Pixel 4A, an affordable $349 (£349, AU$599) phone with an excellent camera. Fast-forward a month later and the company launched its main flagship, the Pixel 5, and a 5G version of the Pixel 4A, aptly called the Pixel 4A 5G. This phone not only connects to the next-gen mobile network; it also has a second, ultrawide camera, a bigger display and battery and a slightly more powerful processor. Naturally, the extra hardware goodies mean the phone costs more, at $499 (£499, AU$799).

There’s no denying that the Pixel 5 is an oddball in 2020. It’s not a flagship smartphone and its $700 price tag reflects that, but there are quite a few other devices in the $700 range that offer better specs and arguably a more enjoyable experience. At the end of the day, the Pixel 5 is the smartphone for those who simply want that Pixel camera experience and don’t want to compromise on flagsip=tier features like wireless charging and an IP rating.

Google Pixel 4a 5G Review: Excellent Phone, But Missing a Few Creature Comforts

If I leave you with one theme to take away from this review, it should be that this is an excellent phone, but it’s missing a few creature comforts, such as the higher refresh rate and official IP rating. At the $499 range, you can find other devices that offer these things and it’ll be interesting to see what all is offered inside of the OnePlus Nord for the US market. As it sits, though, the Pixel 4a 5G is sweet and I can see it pleasing plenty of potential buyers, no doubt. It has a great camera, will receive plenty of updates, and the straightforward hardware/software combo is something I can really get behind and support.

Although this year’s Pixel lineup may seem confusing at first, I think Google’s new phones offer several practical benefits, if not many reasons to justify an upgrade. By that, I mean the Pixel 4a 5G strikes me as not doing anything particularly new or exciting. The phone lacks arguably ‘staple’ high-end features like wireless charging, a telephoto lens, a high refresh rate screen and face unlock.

The Google Pixel 4a 5G offers solid performance, excellent cameras, and 5G at a relatively affordable price. But it sits in a strange spot between the standard Pixel 4a and the Pixel 5. It delivers 5G support and better camera quality than the Pixel 4a for $150 more, which seems like a good value for shutterbugs, especially if you live in an area with 5G coverage. But for $100 to $200 more, the Pixel 5 feels like a stronger choice in the long run. With better battery life, wireless charging, much stronger durability, and Verizon mmWave by default, it might cost more than the Pixel 4a 5G, but it's a better buy. For the same price, we also recommend the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G, our Editors' Choice, for superior performance all around, including a higher refresh rate screen and a much faster processor.

With the same cameras, chipset and connectivity, and a similar design, the Pixel 4a 5G is very similar to Google’s Pixel 5, but its lower price should give it broad appeal. As an overall package it’s a fine mid-range 5G phone, and the Android experience here is clean and smooth as we’d expect; however, none of its specs are particularly compelling, and it’s too pricey to compete in the ‘affordable 5G phone’ category.

Source: Hot Hardware English Archive.org version
For 500 bucks, the Pixel 4a 5G is a good value in the 5G-enabled smartphone market, but its overall performance in the benchmarks puts it behind some previous-gen flagships that are now available for similar price points. Real-world performance, however, is good and the user experience is top-notch, especially if you're a fan of pure Android. You will likely have to give up 5G capabilities and may end up with a camera and battery life that's not quite as good if you look to some previous flagships in this price range, but devices like the OnePlus 7T are available for barely over $400 now and the more powerful Samsung Galaxy S10 is only slightly pricier. That said, we believe anyone looking for quality device that ticks all of the right boxes at an affordable price, will dig the Pixel 4a 5G and we can recommend it without hesitation.

Pixel 4A 5G is the unusual $500 phone that gives you 5G without skimping on the camera
Source: CNet English Archive.org version
Though the Pixel 4A 5G costs $150 more than the 4G-only version of the device from early August, Google amped up the specs to justify the cost bump. That includes a bigger screen, a second camera lens on the back, a bigger battery and, of course, 5G. At the time the 4A launched, CNET's Lynn La said "for its price, the Pixel 4A has one of the best cameras you can get on a phone."
